BlizzCon 2007 Report

2404.org has kicked up their own report of this year’s BlizzCon festival, providing us with another source of information for everything that took place at the event.

Blizzcon also gave us the first peek at the new WoW expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. Additions such as siege weapons, destructible buildings, new dungeons, and raising the level cap to 80 (new abilities, talents, spells) were among the offerings promised to be available. A new profession, inscriptions, will be able to permanently raise the power of spells and abilities. Much like an enchanter can permanently enhance your armor, Inscribers will do the same for spells and skills. Arthas will raise his sword and take up the title role of the Lich King himself, and overcoming him will be no small matter. The fortified city of Dalaran shall magically float it’s northward to be the base city for the expansion. Players will not only be able to soar upon their flying mounts to reach Dalaran but there will be key access points upon the ground. News was spread of the new seven-zone continent to the north, named, (Northrend,) and the new hero class, Deathknight, which will be available for all players to unlock, not just paladins as falsely rumored. The developers compared the process of unlocking the deathknight to the warlock epic mount quest.
